Frankie Montas was a starting pitcher for the New York Mets. In 2025 he struck out 32 batters over 38.2 innings across 9 appearances, 7 of them starts, going 3-2. His ERA of 6.28 was 51.1% higher than the league average of 4.16 — the worst on his team, and 490th of 542 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.33 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 23.8% of swings (11.6% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.9% of the batters he faced and struck out 18.0%. His -0.1 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.

BAA and OPS are what hitters did against each pitch, credited to the one that ended the plate appearance, and are left blank under 15 at-bats.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
